Mark Cuban invests in Denver health-care software company

Mar 3, 2017

​A Denver company that makes health-care software said "Shark Tank" TV show star and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has invested in the company.

Matrix Analytics (now Eon), which makes LungDirect software that tracks patients' lung cancer analytics, said Cuban has invested $250,000 in seed capital in the firm.

"Mr. Cuban's investment will allow us to further our mission of putting a dent in lung cancer, and ultimately, more patients and families will benefit from it," said company president Christine Spraker, in a statement.

LungDirect is "the only automatic registry software system enabling hospitals to track pulmonary nodule patients from detection through diagnosis," the company added.

Cuban appeared at a Dallas forum yesterday, explaining how technology is going to change everything in the future.

"We're going to see more changes in technology over the next five years than we have in the past 30. We've seen processing speeds really accelerate and that's allowed tech guys to start to really talk machine learning and artificial intelligence," Cuban was quoted in a report in the Dallas Business Journal.
